The deal was made with IM Global, who financed and produced the picture via its genre label Octane.

Wayans, who has spoof credits such as Scary Movie and its sequel plus Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, co-wrote the movie and stars in it with Essense Atkins, David Koechner and Nick Swardson.
